How to Exercise Options on ThinkorSwim

You must have a teaching background. Brief, informative, clear, inclusive, tempo pace. Best instructional video I’ve seen. Super Thanks!

Doesn't work, does this work on paper trading? I don't see the exercise selection

The fact that TD (now schwab) doesn't instantly execute your order (especially after you've gone through the CONFIRM AND SEND) is ridiculous.
Yes, 99.9% of the time, exercising options is stupid. But if I wanted someone to handle my trades for me, I would.
So just put the order through that I submitted. Don't ask me (or tell me) it's better to do it this way blah blah...
Time is money (literally, with options).

What happens if you excersize an option that you don't own . For a long put, you will probably be short 100 share. For a long Call, you will be long 100 shares. This means you need cash or margin in you account. For an IRA, you will need cash. Correct?

Great video thanks! As for when this might make sense, on a hectic day like today (9/23/22), I noticed spreads blowing out on deep ITM contracts on a highly liquid SPDR ETF, causing some contracts to have 100 delta and negative extrinsic value (!). In that situation, exercising would help close the position, if nobody has enough liquidity to actually buy the contract...

Hi, I did a sell put for 1 contract = 100 shares at the price of $9.00 per share. The share is going uptrend. I would like to exercise it near to expiry date (to have the 100 shares). Do I use the method you are teaching in order to obtain this 100 shares? Thanks.

You're explaining the program to peoplle as if they already know how to read the UI.

Do I have to save enough money on cash account to actually buy 100 shares of "x" stock if I were to exercise a buy PUT options in the event of share price dropping? this has been doubting me a lot

what will happen if long call or long put in the money on expiry but there is insufficient money/share, will it still be exercised?

So glad to found your channel. You the best tutorial

Wow, I wish you would get hired by TD Ameritrade and re-do all of their options videos. I learned more from this video and your Iron Condor (which I don't do yet) than I did from their courses and videos. Your IV and Analyze Tab information on the IC video was brilliant. Looking forward to more ToS videos from you. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing , may i ask if you do 1 2 1 session ? thanks
